Spring has sprung, and it’s time to shake off the dust — literally and figuratively! While you’re busy scrubbing and tidying, why not “clean up” your energy usage, too? Here’s how to make your spring cleaning energy efficient and lighten your bill.

CHILL OUT WITH YOUR FRIDGE

Your fridge works hard, but those dusty coils in the back or on the bottom, they’re freeloaders! 

Give them a gentle wipe down or use forced air to blow the dust off to keep your fridge cool without working overtime.

LIGHTING GLOW UP 

Still rocking those old incandescent bulbs? 

Swap them out for LEDs and watch your energy savings brighten your mood.

SEAL THE DEAL

Drafts are like uninvited houseguests — annoying and costly.

Seal them up with weatherstripping or caulk. It’s an easy and cost-effective DIY project

FAN-TASTIC SAVINGS

Flip the switch on your ceiling fan to spin counterclockwise this spring. 

It’s a breeze to do and will keep you cooler without cranking up the AC.

GIVE YOUR HVAC A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH

Your air conditioner deserves some TLC, too. 

A professional tune-up will have it operating at maximum efficiency – just in time for the Texas heat.
